  OK, I found my arris router settings and changed it from 192.168.2.--- to 192.168.1.1 and set the ending address at 254. It worked!!

  Thanks, didn't know I could do that.

I got my first blade today. Got it powered up and internet connected, but it won't find the config page. I've read the setup guide but I'm not sure how to tell if my router IP

  is right. Every time I go to 192.168.1.254:8000 I either get page not found or a page with websites for 192.168.1.254 

  My IPv4 is: 192.168.2.8, default gateway: 192.168.2.1  I went in internet properties and changed IP address from auto to 192.168.1.200 but that disconnected the internet.

  Could the problem be the 2 instead of 1 in my IPv4 address, can I change this and still connect? I tried to reset the blade, no help. The internet light on the blade yellow is

  on, green flashing, no config page, help


Brudog;
   Goto your router ; 192.168.2.1
    login . then look for your internet; local; dhcp settings you'll see it will say 192.168.2.100 etc.
   change that to 192.168.1.100. also make your your ip range ends at 254.
     sorry this is rushed.

hi i have a good power supply all wiring as to the pictures 4 black 2 yellow on a splitter. the blade powers up for about 2 min 15 sec and then restarts.
i have installed virtual machine with win 7 32bit and ran in mining proxy then directed the blades to my pc in virutal machine but still no luck. i use the mining proxy download from bitcoin.cz and use bat file with my details, i have bitminter,slush pool and btcguild tried all different setting but still same.
can any one setup a proxy for me (via instructions or remote)and i will give 0.2 btc as a reward 

 My blade is ver2, green in color.

I have the same issue. I am using a computer PSU rated at 450 watts, upgraded from a desktop psu i was using.
 
The specs of the power supply are as followed:
 3.3v@20a  / 5v@20a   /  12v@30a / [email protected]    /  5vsb@2a

From the PSU -> Molex -> Molex splitter -> 2 yellow / 5 black -> Blade.
 
 You'll see i get 4 x's at the end of the row for "CHIP"  .
 I just bought this PSU thinking the one i was using wasnt good enough. so bought this 450 one.
 I did the PSU Bypass .. Jumped the green wire with the black next to it.
 I tested the volts at the green connector and there good. various testing on the board get me voltage. With this gen2 - green pcb i just dont know what to do and what to expect at various points.
The configuration screen shows as follows :


 Thanks

Do these stay solid green until they start hashing like the USB Block erupters? I need to know I but a Y-power cable and that didn't work so I had to order the Molex. Never go orange black black red lol good thing I was watching the blade when the wire started smoking.

No, they usually blink every now and then

I hope I can get my blade setup soon I am losing money and I have a nice cold place for it out in the shed and it snowed last night so why do I need a fan hahaha. Grin

aaaa but what about condensation? water and electricity don't mix so well

I need to resolder dead fuse on blade V2 (green PCB). But I could not find any specification for this fuse. Do you know somebody? Where to buy it?
Please help.

Bought a few as replacement for the blue blades from a local electronics store for a few cent each! They were 10A ones.

IMHO it would be easier to solder two wires to the blade and connect them to a socket used for car fuses (the ones the gen 1 blades use)
 
So finally I found that it should be 8A/125V fuse from TS connectivity 2410SFV8.00FM/125-2
http://www.te.com/catalog/pn/en/RF1952-000


Great that you found those!

However I'm really curious about your other idea of just soldering in a connector that would accept auto fuses. I have a blown fuse (at least I'm pretty sure its blown) on a V2 Blade (Green PCB), and instead of re-soldering the same SMD fuse, I was thinking of soldering on an inline fuse holder like this one http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3150583&znt_campaign=Category_CMS&znt_source=CAT&znt_medium=RSCOM&znt_content=CT2032234, and adding in a 10A mini-blade fuse. Looking at the ones from TS thought, I'm worried this won't be able to carry enough voltage. I'm a little newbish when it comes to electronics, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

That's fine.. it's rated for 12-24 volts, and 30 amps. More than enough.

nothing i could do would work on bfgminer or slushes proxy. i had 3 or 4 people working on it with me all much more gifted linux users and miners.

so for now until i nuke and pave this box i am using a cloud based solution proxy. that worked from the first time i tried it. ive already hit a block running these two blades so for now, i am satisfied.

thank you for all of your help, and yes if you are having issues, post, post a lot and frequently, reading through your solutions helps, and it helps a great deal!


I have two suggestions for ya..
The first is from here http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/07/01/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-asics/
"if you are using bfgminer you must install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP driver"

 Roll Eyes nevermind I skimmed that the 1st time thru and missed that it was for USB miners


If that doesn't work, the only other suggestion I have, at the moment, is to try cgminer

I use Slush's proxy and it works great. All my issues must have been heat related, even though it didn't feel hot the V2 chip must have shut down by detecting a rapid increase in temp. Once I got all my fans pointed at it everything has been rock solid, actually very happy with my blade. I got mine for $230 and I see most selling for much more now, which kinda sucks because I want to load up a backplane.

Finally got it to work using BFGminer.(thanks to you,guys)

Still,all the chips seem to be functional,yet I'm getting 90-93% efficiency.

Is it normal for a V2 blade?

Speed depends on what coin you mine and the pool As long as you see Chips:OOOOOOOOOOOOO your good

I am still having difficulties setting up.

i spent the greater part of last night trying to setup bfgminer on this linux box. it should be very routine but it is not at all.

was directed to here eventually, ive copied and pasted the contents here.
http://eviltechmonkey.com/bfgsource.html

Building and maintaining bfgminer from source on Linux

This command should be valid on both Ubuntu and Debian based distributions including Mint, Crunchbang, and others
Literally copy and paste the entire line while in your home directory (cd ~)

sudo apt-get install git build-essential autoconf automake make libtool pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev libjansson-dev uthash-dev libncursesw5-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libmicrohttpd-dev -y && git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer && cd bfgminer && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

That does NOT install it system wide. It simple enables to run bfgminer from within that folder. To install system wide (so it can be run as any user from any folder) type 'sudo make install' in the bfgminer directory AFTER the rest. Some systems may require you to run 'sudo ldconfig' to link your libraries. If 'make install' does not work try that.

To update your installation follow this step and include 'make install' to install system wide again if wanted:
cd ~/bfgminer && git pull && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

Optionally, once you have the dependencies installed (everything before the "git clone" portion) you can download the prepackaged tar.bz2 files from BFGminer, unpack, cd bfgminer-***, ./configure, make, sudo make install.

Either method will work. The 'git-clone' method will just give you the latest source.

Lastly, make sure your user is in the dialout group. sudo gpasswd -a yourname dialout
Log out, log back in, open a terminal (if you're in a gui) and type 'groups'. You should be set to mine with most every USB ASIC. Head back to the referring page and go mine.


when i enter
./bfgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u username.worker1 -p password -G --http-port 8080 
or (port 8332) i get the following error.
--http-port: unrecognized option

ive pretty much been stuck there.

linux distro ubuntu 12.04
bfgminer 3.0.6
i have the current version of libmicrohttpd-dev

everyone in the live help chat at slushes pool is lost too. i really dont know what to do.

Change your secondary DNS to match your primary. No need for it to point to an external because if you're offline it's moot.

Also, I would suggest using BFGMiner as a proxy instead of slush's. I've seen slush's have issues which couldn't be explained, but BFGMiner is always spot-on.

If possible, use a port other than 8332 to rule out port issues. I usually suggest folks use 8339 or something else easy to remember. Make sure the change is in blade setup, and the proxy knows to listen on the same port.
Yeah,I thought of using BFGminer,however I read somewhere that using it as a proxy requires a x32 OS.
Is it true?
Bfgminer 32bit wont require you downgrade to 32bit os. So that wont be an issue. The main thing that we cant verify is that the IP of the pc running stratum proxy, is the server you have listed in Blade Settings. That will cause your issue, as for the Screenshots of mining proxy, not being able to decode the header, that usually from trying to get mining proxy connected to a getwork pool.

Be sure to double check the Server Addresses in the Blade setting.  Need to point to the pc running the proxy
